instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of Li Zhexian's body was consumed by the decaying qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patches of corpse-like purple-black mottling bloomed across his pale skin like demonic flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pain beyond flesh-melting, beyond bone-piercing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as if half his body were being crushed into pulp, his life draining away like sand—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a torment so sharp it threatened to drive him insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hhaa—ah…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Veins bulged across his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head snapped downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ten fingers dug fiercely into the ground, joints turning ghost-white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The right side of his body grew increasingly rotten;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his hair became mottled and gray;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his right eye clouded with filth and blood;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and his labored breaths rasped like a broken bellows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black qi seeped from between his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spreading like fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying the stench of death and decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Renxue reached forward in panic, but her hand froze mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the youth's trembling form, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tears fell like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of her holy Spirit Power flickered in her palm before slowly dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword dao was a road Li Zhexian had vowed never to turn back from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered Zhu Zhuqing mentioning that Li Zhexian once said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I hear the Dao in the morning, I could die by evening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she recalled it, her heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not stop Li Zhexian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like back in the Wind Sword Sect—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she could only accompany him silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian sat cross-legged, mind forged like a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decaying qi continued to spread, creeping toward the other half of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound like rivers surging erupted within him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four-colored spiritual light flickered beneath his withered flesh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His boiling blood rampaged like a wild beast, forcing itself through decayed meridians!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like spring rain falling on dried earth, his darkened skin and corpse patches cracked into scabs, his dulled hair regained its sheen, and even his clouded eye cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the decay of the Rakshasa God—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it be expelled so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh flesh was born—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to be devoured again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian clung to clarity of mind, searching within the cycle of decay and rebirth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for a single wisp of elusive sword intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Decay and rebirth…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like the entire life of a blade of grass…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In each instant, one withers and flourishes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the power of rebirth…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No… no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I thought of restoration is because my Thunder Sword Intent—'Thunder Ash Rebirth'—already contains destruction and rebirth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Myriad Forms Sword Dao must comprehend different sword intents!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then besides 'rebirth'…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What power remains?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else can it be?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging blood of his Quadform Spirit Meridian Body overwhelmed the decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scabbed shell of corpse patches split open—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling like dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing half of Li Zhexian's body as clear and smooth as jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To comprehend the sword is harder than reaching the heavens!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mere one or two cycles of decay invading my body—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could that be enough?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian's eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his near-collapsed spirit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he once again roused the remaining decaying qi within the Qinglian Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The left side of his body began its own cycle of decay and rebirth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was not reduced in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of pain did not allow for \"getting used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the struggle between life and death—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian continued searching desperately\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for even a glimmer of sword intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But until the scabs fell from his left side—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still gained nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My first attempt at comprehending the sword…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian's voice was hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his body,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the decay and the Quadform Spirit Meridian Body had clashed countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirit was at its absolute limit—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could barely keep his eyes open a sliver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His upright posture finally collapsed;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he fell to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Zhexian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Renxue hurriedly caught him in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was drenched in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently laid him across her lap, leaning against the mud-brick wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingertips released soft holy light, draping over him like silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not help him comprehend the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only give him all the tenderness left to offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the furrow in his brow slowly eased, her beautiful face softened into a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully brushed his damp hair aside and lowered her head to place a soft kiss upon his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waning moon once again hung over the dark purple sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three scythe-bearing shadows returned to the city gates, becoming cold stone statues once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian's eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat upright immediately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And rushed out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again charging toward the shadow-filled dwellings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time waited for no one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to find the Blood of a God!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to gather more decaying qi—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to grasp that elusive strand of sword intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the secret realm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone watched Li Zhexian act like a madman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rushing into the haunted houses again and again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>emerging again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time he came out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloom in his expression deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is Li Zhexian doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's inside those houses that's worth risking his life like this!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This madness… reminds me of the battle where Li Zhexian killed Tang Lie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He isn't just strong—his heart to grow stronger is unmatched!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin, Feng Bailong, Dugu Bo and the others all looked worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhexian's state isn't right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Fengzhi straightened his back and frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging from how he changes each time he enters and exits the houses—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eliminating those lingering dead must be intensifying the erosion of the decaying qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin and Feng Bailong's faces shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew better than anyone\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how terrifying that decaying qi was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists, faint thunder rumbling above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhexian is searching for the Blood of a god,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and using the decaying qi to comprehend his

wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned toward Chen Xin and Feng Bailong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here stood two masters of the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely they could understand Li Zhexian's current state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only gazed at the image of the youth growing more obsessive and more crazed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>worry and admiration mingled in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Zhexian—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw an obsession fiercer than either had possessed in their youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A sword… and a person…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xin lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the tassel drifting from his sword
